Renewable Energy Tax Consulting

Page Content 1

The race to find affordable sources of renewable energy is on and despite the credit crunch and economic turmoil, the federal government and many of the states continue to offer tax credits and incentives to make sure the nation maintains a leadership role in the green industrial revolution.

We can help you incorporate those incentives into your business plan.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and state mandates for renewable energy production standards have combined to encourage unprecedented investment in alternative energy projects. Success in this emerging market will depend heavily on the ability to leverage available tax credits, grants, and other related incentives to raise the needed capital. In order to get these projects up and running and to increase their internal rate of return, this complex process requires the skills of a multidisciplinary team.
